November 11, 2021 Planned Parenthood Whistleblower

So many “whistles” have been “blown” to call attention to the illegal activities and unconscionable business practices of Planned Parenthood, that it is increasingly becoming a virtual full orchestra!

The latest woman to describe her experiences at PP appears in an article by the Catholic News Agency and printed in the National Catholic Register. Mayra Rodriguez worked for PP for 17 years and managed 3 facilities during her career.

Rodriguez is a Mexican national and was in the US on a tourist visa when she was hired anyway by PP to work at a clinic where no abortions were performed. She was later sent to an abortion clinic and was told that she would lose her job if she did not go to work there.

Rodriguez put her talents to work and rose rapidly in the organization. She was so good at her job that she received much recognition and become the Employee of the Year in 2016. However, working conditions changed and she began to feel the pressure to actively sell abortion to increase profits. Women were told that the procedure is “easy,” she says, and that it is the best solution to an unplanned and unwanted pregnancy in the circumstances of their lives. However, she noticed that when women were given a true option, they very often chose not to have an abortion.

She began to be troubled by that, but her observations then turned to the discovery that doctors were falsifying medical records to conceal adverse incidents and complications of abortions. She noted that complications occurred much more often than were reported. Many were reported incorrectly, or not at all.

In one case, she noted that a doctor botched an abortion and then falsified the report. In another case, the doctor left the head of a14 week old fetus inside the mother and placed an IUD inside her before he realized the mistake. She was shocked when the doctor referred to the head of a child he had just killed as if it were a piece of garbage to be discarded.

She reported the incident to her supervisor, saying “I am not going to do this anymore,” and stated that she was going to report the incident and the falsification of medical records. In response, PP accused Rodriguez of concealing narcotics in her office and reported that she was working illegally, demanding that she be deported. She was then fired.

However, Rodriguez was incensed at the injustice and fought a prolonged legal battle for wrongful termination, which she won in 2019, with a punishing award of $3 million imposed on PP.

Rodriguez became enlightened about all of the issues surrounding abortion during this time and coordinated that education with her own experiences to become a strong pro-life advocate in the Hispanic community , reminding one of the journey of Abby Johnson to a similar conclusion.

Rodriguez now warns women that abortion leaves women “undone,” without peace, and saddled with emotional and mental health issues. She urges them to choose life for their babies.
